All kinds of people vote. Not enough of those people think highly enough of Trump to make him President but all kinds of people vote.

The video pete posted has him saying it. I'm not sure if there's any missing context that can change his meaning, but I doubt it.

As I recall the administration was putting a lot of shit out there to drum up support for this. Those that were against it were saying that it was going to be harder to do than they were admitting. People who already had insurance (like me) wanted nothing to do with it, especially people (like me) who don't trust the government to do most things efficiently enough to rely on for something as personal as medical insurance.

OK, I'll spell it out for you. And I expect a bunch of predictable moaning even though I'm right. But I don't want to hear it from patteeu who is a stickler for accuracy and couldn't possibly argue this.

The claim in the OP:

"You will save on average 2500 buckos per household or person or something...."

Clearly, Obama said "up to" which is not the same as "will save 2500" and even further away from "2500 on average" which means some would save even more than the 2500.
